The GnATTERbox

For discussion of the issues faced when building a model or layout - how to replicate wood, what glues to use, exactly how much weathering can a Gnat take, a good source of detailing accessories - you get the picture, I'm sure.

Yes, I think you are right, though i dont remember which album.
Anyway, you are too young to have had a crush on Kate Bush as a teenager I'm not though

I for one am very dissappointed to find out that those are not war tubas I was trying to imagine the guy trying to actually blow a plane out of the air, and what would it sound like?
Now my next question, what exactly was a Reconnaissance Waggon used for did they sneak it into hostile railyards for it to look around under the cloak of darkness?
3rdly, Kate Bush mmmm, running up that hill, oh yes. Sorry guys drifted away there.

Similar to, Kate Bush - The Experiment IV, perhaps?

If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer.

The only thing that keeps me sane, is the friendship I share with my collection of singing potatoes....

Close, but a different song. Katie Melua did a cover version of "Crawling up a hill" originally recorded by John Mayall's Blues Band back in the 1960's.
The correct title for the Kate Bush song is "Running up that hill".
Still good more than 20 years later http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BZsXVf6INc

Peter You`re getting off topic, we were talking about Kate Bush..... Sorry caught out daydreaming again, Kate Bush OK I`ll try to stop It is not Kate Bush related or war tuba (there needs to be a book) related but I do love that pic of the armored train, but I still think if everyone was firing to the one side it would tip right over but I do think a bunch of German planes must have crashed looking at that train thinking they where much higher than they were. Do trumpets sound at 1000 posts?

Congrats Scott, that is a milestone well worth taking note of and a new medal aswell . Careful though, you are in danger of spending too much time on here, take that from one who knows . Well done mate .
